How It Works

Switching Identity: Updates your local/global git config and pre-fills the credential cache, so subsequent git commands work seamlessly without prompts.

Command Proxy (gitas git): Executes git with a temporary identity and credential helper using -c flags. It does not modify any config files, making it perfect for one-off commands.

Secure Storage: All tokens are stored in your system's native keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service).

Data

• Config: dirs::config_dir()/gitas/accounts.json
• Secrets: System Keychain
